EIGHT
Cancer Control Army
Plans iMore Activity
With April, the cancer coatrol
month, close at hand, attention of the
Women’s Field Army is turning to
ward preparations for a more exten
sive campaign than was waged during
the last two years, according to Mrs.
H. H. Wind, chairman for Grady
county. Mrs. Wind said 8 indigent can
cer cases were treated in this county
last year.
Mrs. H. B. Ritchie, of Athens, state
commander for Georgia, summarized
the work that the Georgia division has
accomplsihed in the two years. Since
1936, when the Women’s Field Army
was organized, she has been the state
commander and has had under her ten
district leaders, who, With the co-ope
ration of county directors, physicians,
and other voluntary workers have
made Georgia outstanding in its ac
complishments toward the eradica
tion of cancer.
Based on the 1,782 deaths from
cancer reported in Georgia in 1937, it
is estimated that there are more than
five thousand persons in Georgia suf
fering from cancer. Medical economic
surveys show that 50 per cent of these
are financially unable to supply them
selves with adequate treatment.
A forward and progressive step
was taken along the line of securing
and making vaailable to indigent cases
care and treatment when the 1937
Georgia Cancer Law was enacted to
provide care for these patients.
The $54,134.13 spent in 1938 for
care and treatment of patients in ten
state-aid cancer clinics was expended
on a total of 1,385 person from 149
counties in Georgia. This Was an ave
rage cost of $39.08 per patient. Fol
low-up reports and cases treated to
date indicate that 42 percent have been
cured or arrested.
Funds were exhausted December 1,
1938 and Georgia has had to discon
tinue accspting patients for state-aid,
Mrs. Ritchie said.
Physicians report that a growing
number of men and women are seek
ing complete examinations, the annual
health inventories so essential to con
trolling cancer.
Pullorum disease is the most com
mon cause of losses with baby chicks
the first three or four weeks. There
is no known cure, but it can be con
trolled by bloodtesting the breeders
and removing the reactors.

ANSWERS.
(Questions on Page Seven).
1. The “Czard Kolokol” in Moscow
is the biggest bell in the world. It
weighs about 492,800 pounds.
2. Young girls Were called “flap
pers” 200 years ago because of a fan
cied resemblance in their actions to a
young noisy duck which sportsmen
designated as a flapper.
3. The Dutch paid about $24 in trink
ets for Manhattan island. The joke
was on the Dutch because the Indians
who sold them the island did not own
it.
‘4. Enoch and Elijah did not die, ac
cording to Biblical translation.
5. No one is designated as president
if a president dies or is removed. It
says only that the vice president shall
take the duties of the president. How
ever, John TyleT, the first vice presi
dent to face the situation called him
self president which no one question
ed, and set a precedent that has since
been followed.
6. A silver dollar has more silver
than two silver half-dollars,
7. “On the shore dimly seen thro’
the mists of the deep.”
8. A pair of twins should mean four
persons but usage has always confined
the meaning of the phrase to one set
of twins, so a pair of twins is used to
mean only “twins.”
9. A camelopard is a giraffe. The
animal was first described as looking
like a cross between a camel and a leo
pard or lion, hence the word camel
opard.

gia.
Most of the Jones’s Sunday motor
trip had been marred by a violent
quarrel. On their homeward journey
they pased a pasture field just as a
donkey brayed long and loud.
l“Ist that a relative of yours?” he
asked spitefully.
“Only by marriage, dear,” she re
plied sweetly.
Records show that chicks started
early are more prfitable than those
started later in the spring. Right now
is the time to set those hens or buy
Fat-cattle sales are the pay-off for
the Georgia 4-H club boys who hare
spent a year’s work on their beef cat
tie projects.
